Last night my parents, Michael (who’s visiting from Dublin), and I went to Saltgrass steakhouse. Michael finished off a 24 oz. steak, i had some amazing grilled shrimp! Managed to finish off a bottle of wine with my mother as well.

i remember when i lived in Dublin, i didn’t have a care in the world. i think it was one of the happiest periods in my entire life.

can’t help but remember the bus driver in Dublin.

“see i’ve got the cure for depression. i watch my wedding video.” cue awwwws. “on rewind.” what?! “my favourite part is when my wife gives back the ring, gets in the car, and then fucks off.”

don’t see why i find this fitting for my situation i just do. simon’s invited me over for dinner… where do you think he is now? downstairs watching football. he only missed me so much i guess

After a bit of sleep on the plane as well, Simon 21 year old birthday boy and i ended up in Dublin, Ireland.

It was well early and EVERYTHING was closed. good planning on my part? no.

so we wandered around the empty streets. finally settled for breakfast at a little shop, what a disappointment!

then we got a tour bus, figured it was less walking, could go to the Guinness factory, and learn a bit about the city!

the driver told us how he cured his depression, “i watch my wedding video… on rewind, my favourite part is when she gives me the ring back, gets in the car and fucks off.”

finally checked in at the hotel around 3. took a well needed nap. then got ready for dinner!

ate at a little thai restaurant, food was good but it’s no monkey & me

then we went to cafe en seine, of course, for a couple! simon was so tired we were home around 1. not the night i had planned for, but it was good to get some sleep.

sunday we wandered around. bought a glass from hard rock for my mamma, looked in the shops. walked to where dad and i used to live. stopped by a christmas market, and last but not least drank in Temple Bar.

had a horrible indian meal for dinner and jetted off to the airport and were back in my flat in london by 1130.

simon and i are leaving very earlier tomorrow morning from heathrow. going to dublin, ireland. i am so excited.

won’t be any updates over the weekend!

for a month now i’ve been keeping a tiny little secret. i was going to surprise simon with a weekend trip for his 21st birthday.

his birthday is saturday and don’t you think that i happened to blurt it out today?! i cried cause i was so frustrated with myself. he’s happy though.

so from saturday morning till sunday evening i will be enjoying the lovely city that is dublin.

i’ve missed it so much, i am well excited to visit again! i think simon is looking forward to all the guinness as well

stood outside H&M in the rain for ages last year in Dublin. anything to get these beauties!

however when i got inside the shoes were all gone, so i got these offline in sweden and when i got them, i couldn’t have been more disappointed. they don’t fit!

never been used. still in box. original receipt. size 36, 150 pounds.

Simon’s mom was lovely today and drove us up to this pub in the middle of nowhere basically and we had a good lunch. called the lion inn and it seemed pretty popular!  i had leek and potato soup, moms is better but still good! when we drove up we were basically in a cloud so you couldn’t see anything! however on the way back we could see much more. like all the sheep just chillin on the side of the road. scenery was much like ireland, guess them being rather close explains that! had a little nap in the car on the way home because i am tired today!

leaving Dublin today. dads moving to sweden in a couple of weeks so who knows when ill be back here again! i love this city and ill miss it. specially the apartment here, the bed, the view, the people, the pubs and clubs, everything! i’ve had a lovely weekend but it’s sadly back to real life now.. wearing monki skirt today!

went around Dublin today looking for jeans. i found a pair. although i felt they were too expensive. they’re cheaper in the states texas this summer please? they fit PERFECTLY. ive never tried on a pair of jeans and loved them immediately. however they were the smallest size and the sales woman said they’d stretch. so no, im not paying 200+ euros for them. i would no doubt pay the 165 dollars though. i loved them that much. oh well, will have to go searching in london!
